How to access LOROS services
LOROS offers specialised care for patients over the age of 18 with complex needs who are suffering from a terminal illness when cure is no longer possible. It also offers support for their families and carers.
Patients registered with a GP from Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.
Referrals are generally made by a GP, hospital consultant or hospital palliative care team, or are facilitated by a community nurse specialist, with the exception of day therapy drop in.
Patients eligible for referral are usually suffering from advanced cancer or other life-limiting conditions, eg Motor Neurone Disease (MND), heart failure or respiratory disease.
All of our services are free of charge to all patients based upon clinical need.
